Lesson 83 of 100 — From my experience in the market
Chart patterns — triangles, flags, and head and shoulders: how useful are they?
Chart patterns are shapes that repeat on charts because people’s behavior repeats—not because they’re rules.
The most popular ones:
1️⃣ Triangle: price narrows between lower highs and higher lows—the movement builds up before a strong breakout in some direction
2️⃣ Flag: a sharp rise followed by a short, sloping pause—often a continuation of the move
3️⃣ Head and shoulders: three peaks, with the middle one being the highest—one of the best-known reversal patterns for an uptrend, with an inverted version at the bottom
How to use them correctly:
· The pattern isn’t complete until there’s a breakout confirmed by a close—acting before the breakout is just guessing
· Volume during the breakout matters: a breakout on weak volume is more likely to be false
· Place your stop where, if the price reaches it, the pattern has failed
A pattern gives you a higher-probability scenario—not a promise. And the patterns you see everywhere are often just your eyes drawing them.
Bottom line: chart patterns reflect repeated behavior, not rules—wait for a breakout confirmed by a close and volume, and identify where the pattern fails before relying on it.
